My hair 7/12/2014. Finally got rid of the brown and my stylist gave me a Black Gloss, as she called it. Don't really know what exactly is, but she said it isn't damaging at all and I trust her so I said go for it. Can't complain about my length seeing as I gave myself a good trim last month before I installed my weave! I think I'm back to MBL?
Well, the hair and I made it through the straightening process today. Not so bad. I'm really happy with the results. I gave myself a 1/4 to 1 1/4 trim just on the bottom. I might give myself a 1/2" trim on the shorter layers once I wash my hair again. The top layer is now at WSL and the lower layer was grazing TBL before the trim, which is encouraging. Though I would be happy to maintain at this post-trim length once all of my hair grows out. What I love the most is how thick my hair was is through the waist. You can't see any shirt until the very bottom couple inches of hair. With all the time I spend detangling this mess, my hair needs to at least pretend like it's some kind of thick.
In the pictures, the first 2 are pre-trim and the last is post-trim.
Usually a gloss is just a rinse (think jazzing from sallys but probably better quality)
Your hair is so lovely!
Thank you SO much! I was just looking at pics from last year and wow. You can't always tell along to the journey, but I really have come quite a long way. This is my hair April last year and I see a huge difference in the pics-- it's kind of crazy
People at work thought my hair had grew longer. Ha ha. But it's just a wig y'all!! Excuse the grandma draws lol
Aireen and all the ladies who use hair steamers, what steamer are you using? or recommend (I'd like a small model that's powerful enough to do the job but can be put away in a closet) I'm only asking cause I kinda broke my old one :/ TIA

Been using apricot oil in a bit of my serum and I love the combo. I know I liked my serum before but wasn't in love with it, apricot oil took it to another level though. It's so light so if an extra drop is mixed into my serum, I don't have to worry. Permanent staple oil from now on, definitely buying the BIG bottle when this runs out, I almost don't want to try my avocado oil. LADIES, WHAT COMBOS HAVE YOU RECENTLY DISCOVERED/RE-DISCOVERED THAT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING?
